What causes water, fire and mold damage in Highland

The risks in Highland in San Bernardino County are shaped by California's climate and housing. California's property damage risks are unusually varied: wildfire and smoke damage in the wildland-urban interface, atmospheric-river storms that overwhelm roofs and drainage in winter, post-fire debris flows, and the everyday slab leaks and supply-line failures found in slab-on-grade housing. Older housing stock in coastal cities adds aging plumbing and wiring to the list. Problems tend to peak during wildfire season in late summer and fall, storm season in winter, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen in every month of the year.

In Highland, the most frequent emergencies look like this:

• Water heater tank failures that release 40 to 80 gallons at once
• Slab leaks from supply lines running beneath concrete foundations
• Toilet and tub overflows
• Flash flooding that pushes water through doors, window wells and foundation walls in minutes
• Intense rainfall that overwhelms gutters, downspouts and yard drainage
• Plumbing connections and water heaters shaken loose by seismic movement
• Electrical fires from aging wiring, overloaded circuits and outdated panels
• Wildfire smoke, ash and soot infiltration, and structure fires at the wildland edge
• Moisture left behind after fire-suppression water
• Salt air and coastal humidity that keep building materials damp

First steps for Highland property owners

The first hour determines how much can be saved. While a crew is on the way:

• After a fire, wait for the fire department to release the property and do not wipe soot with water, which smears it into surfaces
• Stay out of standing water that could be electrically charged or contaminated with sewage
• Open your insurance claim early; mitigation is a policy condition and delays can reduce what is paid
• If you see or smell mold, avoid disturbing it and keep the area closed off until it is assessed
• Shut off the main water valve if the source is a plumbing failure, and turn off power to the affected area if water is near outlets or appliances
• Do not run the HVAC system if ducts or the air handler got wet, and do not use household fans on sewage or flood water

How it works

1. Call (888) 755-3821. Describe what happened, where you are in Highland and whether the water is still running or the fire is out.
2. We connect you with a restoration company that covers your ZIP code and has crews available. In most cases they contact you within minutes and schedule an emergency response measured in hours.

When and where damage happens in Highland

Every property type in Highland has its own failure points, which is why crews map moisture with meters and infrared cameras before deciding what to remove.

Storm season produces the biggest spikes in calls, but plumbing failures and appliance leaks happen every month of the year. Late summer and fall bring wildfire smoke and structure fire risk, while kitchen fires remain the leading cause year-round. The long wet season keeps crawlspaces, siding and window frames damp, and mold follows wherever drying lags behind the rain.
